XCruiser Description

Open source 3D VR-like interface to UNIX filesystem XCruiser will display your directories as galaxies, files as planets (of various properties depending on its attributes) and symlinks as wormholes. You can fly through cyberspace created from these. Here are some key features of "XCruiser": · A directory is represented as a galaxy, displayed as a cyan or white ring in XCruiser. Unlike the actual universe, a galaxy may contain other galaxies to represent hierarchical directories. · A regular file is represented as a planet. The radius of a planet is determined by its mass, which corresponds to the file size. The color is currently kind of random, but we're planning to relate it to the file type. · A symbolic link is represented as a wormhole, displayed as a green curve. · The position and the direction of a file(star) is determined by its file name. Longer filenames are located farther from the center of the parent galaxy. Closer filenames are located in closer places to each other.
